Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy

Lorin Anderson, who is a former student of the late Benjamin Bloom, revised Bloom’s Taxonomy and published Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy in 2001. Anderson basically revised the original Bloom’s Taxonomy by simply replacing the nouns with verbs for each category.  In Addition, the new Bloom’s taxonomy places creating as the highest order thinking skill.  The picture on the left displays the cognitive process beginning with Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) gradually culminating to those Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).  http://techlearning.com/article/8670 provides some excellent ideas and examples on how you can utilize technology in the classroom in relation to the new Bloom’s and 21st century skills.  One of the main advantages of this site is that it displays the verbs and activities on an easy to read chart.
